Together we did something very special. Together, we saved the Crew.Continue reading Sam’s Save The Crew Story

Dayton, Ohio – September 5 10:42 AM

“I just came up with a crazy idea…to go see the Crew in Montreal. Game’s at 3 on 10/6. That would be a blast. Can you free yourself up?”

This was the text my brother sent. My brain immediately started thinking through that weekend knowing that it would be a hefty road trip and I had some other things on the calendar. After serious thought I responded:

While recalling this story to share with you, it occurs to me that as we live each day we’re curating our life stories. Who knew, while we were living it, that one day it would be story worthy? To us, it was another day at Café del Mondo…

This may sound crazy and it may not be 100% accurate, but my friend Tim and I may be the furthest away Crew supporters as we both live and work in Bangkok, Thailand – 8,713 miles from Columbus.

I have been a Crew fan since the beginning of MLS. I was at the very first regular season game they ever played. I remember sitting in the closed end of the Horseshoe in Columbus and watching Dr. Khumalo, break someone’s ankles with a ridiculous move. I never had season tickets, but my college soccer team would attend at least two to three games a year and then I would go once or twice during the summers. Continue reading 8,713 Miles of Support – George

I almost feel like a fraud writing this as my story and experiences are relatively new compared to the fans who have been with the Crew since the beginning, and there are so many people who have loved the Crew for longer and better than I have. But I’m both happy and honored I get to share my story.Continue reading Massive Memoir – Elizabeth’s Family

So yeah, I’m getting married on Saturday. If you’re wondering how it took 37 years for me to find someone who would not only be willing to be in a relationship with me, but also involve the government in said relationship, well, allow me to tell you a little bit about myself.

I’m not normal. I mean, okay sure, no one is technically “normal” if you’re going to look at everyone who has ever lived on a microscopic level and critique and catalog their individual personalities and traits. Everyone is unique in their own special way, and it’s one of the reasons why being alive is so freaking awesome. Continue reading Massive Match Day

MONDAY RECAP: COMMUNITY UPDATE

2019 Ticket Pledge:

If you have not yet filled out the pledge, please click on the link and do so! And if you have, make sure to tell everyone you know. Continue reading Monday Recap 7/30/18

So many Columbus Crew fans have stories of home match rituals, epic road game trips, family and club connections and all the stories that go with them. I’ve seen and read about them over the years and admire them all. My son and I have ours, and I decided to share the story of our tradition.Continue reading Road Trip Traditions

Editor’s Note. What follows is the story of how soccer inspired Silvia C Rodriguez, a Chihuahua, México transplant to Columbus and author of bilingual Children’s Books, to write a book about the World Cup. It is presented first in Spanish and then in English.

The 2018 Columbus Crew season does not resemble in the slightest any prior Crew season. Since last October, Crew fans have wrestled with the possible demise of something we dearly love. Due to these unfortunate circumstances, my family and I felt obligated to take an away game trip this season. My husband, Tim, said that we owed ourselves a long overdue trip. He was correct.Continue reading Taking Action with a Massive Road Trip
